I've been thinking about this but I'm unsure as to what would work.
Adding that information in the comments might be useful but will not
help in the case of software that uses a source from almost a decade
ago. There may be a smart HTTP trick to flag this without disturbing
what currently works but I can't think of one that would actually have
any impact. Maybe there is a need for W3C to provide a "latest" link
for resources such as schemata in the same way that they do for specs.

That's probably the easiest fix :)
